Talip ÇETER1 1 Kastamonu University, Arts and Sciences Faculty, Department of Biology, Kastamonu, Turkey *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Received: 05th December, 2018; accepted: 15th December, 2018; published: 28th December, 2018 A B S T R A C T Cyanus is a genus of family Asteraceae. 20 taxa belonging to Cyanus distributes in Turkey and 9 of them are endemics. In this study, pollen morphology and achene micro and macro morphology of 4 taxa belonging to Cyanus (C. depressus, C. triumfettii, C. pichleri subsp. pichleri, C. lanigerus) were investigated. The aim of the study was to determine taxonomic value of pollen and achene micro characteristic. Pollen grains of Cyanus taxa observed as isopolar, radially symmetric, with tricolporate aperture and subprolate pollen shape. Polar axis range between 36 -55.8 µm while equatorial axis between 27.8-47 µm. C. lanigerus pollen measured as biggest pollen wile C. depressus pollen is the smallest. Pollen surface ornamentation determined as scabrate. The achene shape was observed as ovoid and oblong in studied taxa. SEM results showed tha t the achene surface had a striate-psilate sculpture and was depressed on both lateral surfaces, without rare hairs. The Achene length (4-5mm), width (1.6-2.4 mm) and pappus length (1-6.4 mm) ranges differed significantly. 15 C. triumfettii achene determined as smallest (4.0 mm) in length with the smallest (1.1 mm) pappus while C. -

Flowering Plants of South Norwood Country Park
Flowering Plants Of South Norwood Country Park Robert Spencer Introduction South Norwood Country Park relative to its size contains a wide range habitats and as a result a diverse range of plants can be found growing on site. Some of these plants are very conspicuous, growing in great abundance and filling the park with splashes of bright colour with a white period in early May largely as a result of the Cow Parsley, this is followed later in the year by a pink period consisting of mainly Willow herbs. Other plants to be observed are common easily recognisable flowers. However there are a great number of plants growing at South Norwood Country Park that are less well-known or harder to spot, and the casual observer would likely be surprised to learn that 363 species of flowering plants have so far been recorded growing in the park though this number includes invasive species and garden escapes. This report is an update of a report made in 2006, and though the site has changed in the intervening years the management and fundamental nature of the park remains the same. Some plants have diminished and some have flourished and the high level of diversity is still present. Many of these plants are important to other wildlife particularly in their relationship to invertebrate pollinators, and some of these important interactions are referenced in this report. With so many species on the plant list there is a restriction on how much information is given for each species, with some particularly rare or previously observed but now absent plants not included though they appear in the index at the back of the report including when they were last observed. -

Introduction Within the framework of a mutual agreement between the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK; Kaslik, Jounieh, Lebanon) and the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM; Budapest, Hungary) for exploring biodiversity, entomological trips were organised between 19-27 May, 2015, 16-29 of June, 2016 and 1-13 May, 2017 visiting Mount Lebanon. The first author identified a new subspecies of Cortodera while studying the Cerambycidae materials collected in these trips. Cortodera colchica Reitter, 1890 was described from “Caucasus, Araxesthal”. The type locality of the species is situated (Danilevsky, 2014: 176) in Nakhichevan Republic of Azerbaijan.

Observations on Sorbus in Southwest Moravia (Czech Republic) and Adjacent Austria II

Österreich 134 (1997): 305-316 Observations on Sorbus in Southwest Moravia (Czech Republic) and adjacent Austria II Miloslav KOVANDA Sorbus graeca (SPACH) KOTSCHY is reported as occurring at three stations in the valley of the Dyje (Thaya), in both the Moravian and Austrian parts. The records are briefly commented upon. Basic data concerning morphology, variation, relationships, ecology, geographical distribution, phytocenology and ecobiology are also provided for other species previously known to occur in the area: S. aria (L.) CRANTZ, 5. torminalis (L.) CRANTZ and S. aucuparia L. KOVANDA M., 1997: Beobachtungen zu Sorbus in Südwestmähren (Tschechi- sche Republik) und im grenznahen Österreich II. Sorbus graeca (SPACH) KOTSCHY wird von drei Standorten im Thayatal sowohl im mährischen als auch im österreichischen Teil gemeldet. Die Funde werden kurz kommentiert. Grundlegende Daten zur Morphologie und Variation, zu den Verwandtschaftsverhältnissen, zur Ökologie, geographischen Verbreitung, Phytozönologie und ökobiologie anderer Sorbus-Arten, die kürzlich im selben Gebiet beobachtet wurden (S. aria [L.] CRANTZ, S. torminalis [L.] CRANTZ und S. aucuparia L.), werden ebenfalls mitgeteilt. Keywords: Sorbus, Southwest Moravia, Lower Austria, morphology, variation, relationships, ecology, geographical distribution, phytocenology, ecobiology. Introduction Southwest Moravia and, in particular, the Dyje (Thaya) valley, proved a rewarding terrain in terms of Sorbus diversity. A survey initiated in 1990 detected two new species and two species not previously reported from the area (KOVANDA 1996). Continuing investigation yielded one more species, S. graeca (SPACH) KOTSCHY, not previously recorded as occurring in either the Moravian or the Austrian parts of the valley. -
Usefulness of Palynomorphological Characteristics for the Identification of Species Cyanus Mill
Turkish Journal of Botany Turk J Bot (2021) 45: 43-58 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/botany/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/bot-2005-55 Usefulness of palynomorphological characteristics for the identification of species Cyanus Mill. (Asteraceae) in Turkey: a taxonomic approach Burcu YILMAZ ÇITAK*, Emrah ŞİRİN, Hüseyin DURAL, Kuddisi ERTUĞRUL Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Selçuk University, Konya, Türkiye Received: 24.05.2020 Accepted/Published Online: 03.01.2021 Final Version: 27.01.2021 Abstract: Palynological characters of 20 taxa belonging to the Turkish subgenus Cyanus were studied in details using light and scanning electron microscopy. Pollen grains of the subgenus Cyanus were tricolporate or syncolporate, subprolate or prolate-spheroidal, 26.15 to 53 µm in polar size, 22.84 to 46.86 µm in equatorial size, isopolar, and radially symmetrical. The only type of pollen grain ornamentation observed was scabrate-perforate. Principal component analysis and cluster analysis were performed to investigate the relationships of the studied Cyanus taxa. As a result of the phenetic analyses, the polar axis, equatorial axis, colpus length, and apocolpium were found to be significant palynomorphological characteristics for taxonomic use. Key words: Compositae, Cyanus, pollen morphology, numerical analysis, systematics 1. Introduction Distribution of the Cyanus group lies across central The family Asteraceae is the largest and the most and southern Europe, North Africa, Anatolia, and the cosmopolitan of the flowering plants and is presumably Caucasus. Moreover, some species occur in areas of Iran the most widespread in the Mediterranean (Attard and and Afghanistan (Boršić et al., 2011). Within the scope of Cuschieri, 2009). -
Working List of Invasive Vascular Plants of Wyoming ─ III (Vernacular Names from Selected Major Works) Dec 2017
Working List of Invasive Vascular Plants of Wyoming ─ III (Vernacular names from selected major works) Dec 2017 Compiled by R.L. Hartman and B.E. Nelson With assistance from R.D. Dorn, W. Fertig, B. Heidel The following list contains 372 taxa introduced to Wyoming from outside North America; included are invasives recognized by the Wyoming state government as noxious (; 28; although Ambrosa tomentosa is native). A number of these species repesent escapes from cultivation and are limited to one or a few collections. Nomenclature is based on R.D. Dorn, 2001, Vascular Plants of Wyoming; where updated, Dorn’s synonyms are in square brackets [ ]. Other synonyms found in the list of sources below are not included. Likewise, family names and their circumscriptions follow Dorn; where defined differently by the Angiosperm Working Group IV (APG IV), clarification follows in parenthese. Dorn does not indicate the typical variety or subspecies unless a second infraspecific taxon is recognized. We have included the typical infraspecies where appropriate. The lack of hyphenation, word separation, or capitalization may not reflect the appearance of the vernacular names in the works cited.
